The blogger has just returned from Makanpur village of Kanpur Nagar district of India after witnessing ‘Shab-E-Ashur’ ceremonies. Usually, media give coverage of Muharram ceremonies observed in major cities but villages like Makanpur where Muharram is observed with great solemnity and attended by thousands of people are ignored. The blogger has already written in previous posts about unique features of Muharram at Makanpur.Hence, only a few pictures of Shab-E-Ashur,the night preceding 10th of Muharram, are being posted to give an idea to the viewers how Muharram is observed in a village that is famous for the shrine of Hazrat Badi Uddin Zinda Shah Madar
